I'm guessing that you got a torrent that big with individual files... Not too many popular, downloadable things would be 45GB (except maybe a hard drive image).

Mine would be dvd images for single files.

that's not a 'file' though. that's a season. I assume you'd have downloaded them separately, too.

For me it would probably be a game at around 3.5gb, unless you count an entire season of a TV show packaged into one torrent... that would be close to 8gb.

My total net usage last month was 80gb. There are 5 people in my family but I'd say at least 78gb of that was mine.

you could also leave it on your hd and stream it to your tv using an apple tv or other streaming device.
